COMBINATION CARBON MONOXIDE AND
PROPANE LEAK DETECTOR
A permanently installed detector is located near the
floor in the forward portion of the main camper floor
area. The unit contains an alarm that will sound,
alerting you to the presence of propane or carbon
monoxide.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING OR PROPANE GAS EXPLOSION, TEST
THIS ALARM’S OPERATION AFTER THE CAMPER
HAS BEEN IN STORAGE, BEFORE EACH TRIP AND
AT LEAST ONCE PER WEEK DURING USE.
WARNING
DO NOT USE A CIGARETTE LIGHTER TO TEST
THE CO / PROPANE GAS ALARM. Butane gas may
damage the sensors.
DO NOT attempt to test the alarm by any other means
than by using the TEST/RESET button. DO NOT
attempt to produce CO to the alarm. The TEST/
RESET button tests all functions of the alarm and is
the ONLY safe way to be sure the alarm is working
properly.
The alarm may be tested at any time. The TEST/Mute
switch is located on the front of the alarm. Press and
hold the test button for 1 second. The alarm is working
properly if the GREEN indicator light changes color to
RED and the alarm beeps 4 times. The Gas
LED should also blink Red.
OPERATION
When the unit is first powered up, the CO sensor
requires a ten (10) minute initial warm-up period to
clean the sensor element and achieve stabilization.
The GREEN LED indicator will flash on and off during
the 10 minute warm-up period. This unit cannot go into
a CO alarm during the warm-up period. After the
warm-up period, the GREEN power ON indicator
should glow continuously. If the ON indicator light does
not light see the section, “Trouble-Shooting Guide” in
the User’s Manual for this alarm provided in the
Owner’s Information Package.
This alarm will operate normally down to 7v DC.
It will not work without power.
VISUAL AND AUDIBLE ALARM SIGNALS
The CO / Propane Gas Alarm is designed to be easy-
to-operate. The alarm has two indicator lights that
display a specific color for each monitored condition.
There also is a matching sound pattern for alarm
conditions.
CO ALARM
The Red CO LED will flash and the alarm will sound 4
“BEEPS” then silent for 5 seconds. These signals
indicate that the CO level over 70 ppm. IMMEDIATE
ACTION IS REQUIRED. This cycle will continue until
the TEST/Mute button on the front of the alarm is
pressed. Ventilate the Camper. The RED light will stay
ON until the CO has cleared, or the alarm will
reactivate in approximately 6 minutes if the CO is still
present. DO NOT RE-ENTER THE CAMPER. This
alarm will return to normal operation after the
Camper’s properly ventilated.
PROCEDURES TO TAKE DURING A CO ALARM
Actuation of this device indicates the presence of
carbon monoxide (CO) or propane gases, which can
kill you. If signal sounds (4beeps and flashing or solid
red light), immediately turn off all combustion sources
and ventilate the premises. Evacuate the premises
immediately. Check that all persons are accounted for.
Do not re-enter the camper until it has been aired out
and the problem corrected. Have the problem
corrected before restarting appliances.
WARNING Carbon monoxide cannot be seen or
smelled and can kill you.
